Joni Dufour reviews Global Warring for The Rover and describes Cleo Paskal as a "geopolitical actuary" -- Cleo's new favourite self-descriptor. Other highlights from the review:

If you’re looking for a debate on global warming, however, you’ll have to look elsewhere. In Paskal’s analysis, climate change is a given. In fact, she often opts for the term “environmental change,” and prefers to look beyond specific theories of the causes of climate change to focus on its effects and implications on the ground. [...] This experienced journalist shows her academic chops when laying down the historical background of the geo hot spots discussed. She needs little time to make her synopses clear and condensed.
